RabbitMQ Consulting Services

LShift were the original authors of RabbitMQ, an Open Source implementation of AMQP. It was developed to improve messaging standardisation across our clients’ systems.

We’ve completed many different types of projects using Rabbit; from design and proof-of-concept through to international deployments with some of the world’s largest companies.

  3. Software auditors for Lloyd's of London

    Lloyd's asked us to take a look at the security design of a new gaming business that they had been asked to underwrite - this start-up has an interesting gaming model which has insured the payout of all wins over a certain value. For Lloyds, the maths works, but only if the software actually does what it should.
